375 Why don't the Chinese come?
The protagonist of this banquet is naturally Pradan, who has vigorously helped Sang Yi and other tea plantation owners, and there are some officials from the relevant railway and tourism departments, in fact, Shakru is the person who needs to be thanked most by Sangyi, but his thanks will be placed on another occasion, so at this banquet, Shakru belongs to Sangyi's camp and helps them toast Pradhan and others.

When the wine was half-drunk, Bindet, an official of the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs, suddenly dragged Shakru and asked: "Mr. Pandith, you are also our China expert here, I would like to ask you, why are these rich Chinese not willing to come to our India for tourism?" Obviously, our India and China are so close and culturally similar, and we have stable regime, public security and health conditions here, and the corresponding tourism facilities are perfect and have a rich cultural heritage, but why don't these Chinese come? According to statistics, there were more than 100 million Chinese outbound tourists last year, but only more than 70,000 came to India, accounting for only 0.06 percent, which is simply insignificant, and even less than 1 percent of Singapore's small country. ”
Before Shakru could answer, Pradhan interjected on the side and replied: "Do you need to ask, don't you know what nickname we India has abroad now?" It is known as the "capital of strong X", who would dare to come in this situation? People travel abroad to relax, not to be relaxed. ”
Bindert retorted dissatisfiedly: "However, India is not the highest in the global ranking of rape cases, and many countries in the United States and Europe are higher than India."
According to last year's statistical report, the 15 countries with the highest rape cases are: South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Bermuda, Sweden, Suriname, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Grenada, Australia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Belgium, the United States and Bolivia.
India, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the rape rankings, ranking 16th from the bottom, with only a little higher rape per 100,000 people than Canada. So why put the hat of rape capital on our heads in India? ”
Shakru shook his head and replied, "Mr. Bindett, the matter cannot be said in this way, after all, this kind of statistical report can reach too few people, and the accuracy of this report is questionable. In addition, I think the reason for the lack of tourists is not only the hat of the rape capital, but also the fact that there are many tourism-related supporting facilities that we are doing too poorly.
I'm a hotel myself, so let's talk about hotels first. Nowadays, the hotel industry in New Delhi, especially the tourism-oriented hotels, is really poor in terms of value for money. Hotel accommodations that meet international star standards cost more than $250 a night, and as such, they are often not booked. And those so-called three-star hotels, the difference in food, accommodation and sanitation conditions is difficult for me, a fellow in the industry, to accept, and even some hotels that charge $80 a night do not even have air conditioning, and rely on fans to cool down, isn't it a joke? Therefore, many tourists originally thought that India was cheap and cheap, but they were all disappointed when they arrived.
Then there are the ticket prices, which are now a two-track system for many attractions, which means that the price for foreign tourists is much higher than that of their own nationals. In the case of the Taj Mahal, for example, domestic tourists only need 20 rupees, while foreign tourists will need 500 rupees, which is 25 times more. This is true not only for scenic spots, but also for transportation, food and so on, which will definitely lead to dissatisfaction among tourists, which will leave a bad impression on India, and will naturally not give positive publicity after returning home.
And then the law and order is really bad, everyone still remembers what happened to my Swedish friend in the first two years, right? This year, a British tourist strayed into a small village in Maharat and was beaten by local villagers and hanged from a mango tree. ”
Bindert was dumbfounded and said, "Ah! Mr. Pandit, are you telling the truth? Is this the way the current tourism situation is? ”
Looking at Bindet's surprised look, Shakru sighed in his heart, hey, this is another Indian official who is high up and doesn't know the suffering of the people, so it seems that what he just said about India's security and health conditions are not bad is really so, because he has not actually investigated at all, just based on his own living conditions as a measure, so he sighed and said: "Mr. Bindet, the actual situation must be more serious than what I said, because I rarely travel, It's hard to give an opinion from a tourist's point of view, so if you have the time, you can look into it yourself. Then he added: "Well, it's better to hide your identity to investigate, otherwise it will be difficult to get real data." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy, Pradhan changed the topic and said: "It's not working time again, let's not talk about these uninteresting things, come, come, come, drink, drink!" ”
Just as everyone was pushing the cups and changing the glasses, Mustafina suddenly walked up to Shakru's side and whispered in his ear: "Boss, Mrs. Amisa called and said that you should go home immediately, there is a great joy to tell you!" ”
Shakru looked at a table of magnates and friends, and felt a little embarrassed, so he said to Mustafina: "Fenna, you call back to Amisa, and say that I can't leave now, and I will go back as soon as the banquet is over." ”
Unexpectedly, Mustafina shook her head and said: "Boss, I suggest that you go back quickly, because I felt that Mrs. Amisa was very excited on the phone just now, and even spoke a little incoherently, this is the first time I have seen her like this in these years, so there may really be something big." ”
Hearing Mustafina say this, Shakru also felt a little surprised, because Amisa has been taught very well since she was a child, and since she knew her to the present, except for the first time the two of them have slept with her, she has never seen her incoherent, is this really something wrong?
After thinking about it carefully, Shakru stood up and confessed himself, punished himself with a few glasses of wine, and made a few promises of treats, and then left the banquet and drove home in a hurry.
As soon as he arrived home, he found that Mustafina was right, Ah Misha's emotions were indeed very excited, and when he saw him come back, he didn't even care that there were Mustafina and other servants next to him, and he threw himself into Shakru's arms at once, and was extremely excited to tell Shakru a good news that made him excited!
PS: You can guess what the joy is! (To be continued.) )
